• Require budgets to spell out what spending is expected to achieve and how program performance will be measured

• Implement rigorous performance reviews for all state programs

• Require multi-year budget planning and forecasting

• Ensure all new programs, tax cuts, and ballot measures are paid for before being enacted

• Capture one-time revenue spikes and limit use to one-time expenditures, starting with paying down debt and filling the rainy day fund

• Lower the vote requirement to pass a budget, in combination with the rest of these reforms

These proposals are supported by a broad coalition of voters, experts, and leaders. They represent fundamental change for our state. Even though elected leaders failed to act, we haven't given up -- and we want you to join the fight.

With your support, California Forward can build a multipartisan, statewide coalition of partners in support of real fiscal reform that can win at the ballot box -- and help turn California around.

If you think California can do better and this approach looks right to you, endorse the plan today.
